Can he be mistaken in his experience UD. That is the issue. Can this precognitive god experience something that does not come to pass?
(The word precognitive is pretty fucking descriptive asshole)
"Predestined" or "predestination" has use and meaning outside of theology, stripped of all superstition predestination would simply the notion that the future may be determined, that things may be predestined. There is a better word for this, but this is the term we've been using, so I'm running with it. It has nothing to do with making a choice for someone in the context (neither does precognition) of my argument. Whether or not this precognitive being makes your choices for you, or whether or not this precognitive being set up the predestined events has literally no impact on what I'm trying to explain to the two of you.
Assume that the precognitive's experience does not influence the events, assume that the precognitive did not arrange what events were predestined. What does this alter about my explanation of how predestined events and precognition affects the notion of choice?
